Frank,

 

I’ve been following this topic and thinking about it.  I know the goals at Mystic Seaport in general are to reach out to new people/new audience and use the planetarium and its facilities more effectively. You have taught your classes for years. What has been your most successful audience? People interested in history,sailors, retired members of the community? What has been successful elsewhere? Failures elsewhere?

 

Somehow it has got to be fun interesting and not too complicated.  Still thinking and best regards.

The way I understood Frank's request for ideas was for something he hadn't tried or thought of before.  He know's what works currently, it seemed like he was looking for new ideas that might rope in new audiences.  What has worked or failed before at Mystic or elsewhere doesn't give him the previously untried approach.
